Key Terms

Basket:

The Basket consists of 15 common stocks (each, a “Reference Stock” and collectively, the “Reference Stocks”).

provided that your payment at maturity will not be less than zero.
Because the Basket Adjustment Factor is 99%, you will lose some or all of your investment at maturity if the Basket Return is less than approximately 1.01%.

What Is the Total Return on the Notes at Maturity Assuming a Range of Performance for the Basket?

The following table and examples illustrate the hypothetical total return at maturity for each $1,000 principal amount note. The “total return” as used in this term sheet is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note to $1,000. The hypothetical total returns set forth below reflect the Basket Adjustment Factor of 99%. The hypothetical total returns set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual total returns at maturity applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following table and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity

The following examples illustrate how the total returns set forth in the table above are calculated.

Example 1: The level of the Basket increases from the Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 105. Because the Ending Basket Level of 105 is greater than the Starting Basket Level of 100, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,039.50 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 x (1+5%) x 99% = $1,039.50

Example 2: The level of the Basket increases from the Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 100.25. Although the Ending Basket Level of 100.25 is greater than the Starting Basket Level of 100, because of the negative effect of the Basket Adjustment Factor, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $992.48 per $1,000 principal amount, calculated as follows:

$1,000 x (1+0.25%) x 99% = $992.48

Example 3: The level of the Basket decreases from the Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 80. Because the Ending Basket Level of 80 is less than the Starting Basket Level of 100, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $792 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 x (1+(-20%)) x 99% = $792
